The Prom Problem: Get Ready For Special Needs Prom With My Sister

Previously on The Prom Problem: Hair Tutorial Hey guys! My Prom days are over, but I still wanted to do a get ready with me post to close out the series for this year. This year, my little sister will be attending her very first Prom, so I thought I would do a get ready with her instead. My sister attends a special needs school. She was a late walker and types to communicate. Despite her physical limitations, she is cognitively normal. Actually, she is brilliant. I think it is so amazing that her school has a Prom so that the kids get to experience the event. I know she is excited! So lets get ready! Girl Stuff The first thing my sister did when she returned from school on the day of Prom was take a shower, brush her teeth, deodorant, the typical hygiene stuff. This step is not very interesting, and I do not have much to say here, but it's still important. Hair My sister wears her hair either in a pony tail or pig tails every day because she does not like to wear her hair d

Get Fit For Summer: Workout On The Beach/ Beach Vacation Workouts

The beach is the perfect place to relax, but it is also the perfect place to workout. If you are working out on the beach, make sure you have a bottle of water handy so that you do not get dehydrated. The heat will make you sweat more then you would at the gym, so just make sure to take care of yourself. The best part about working out on the beach is that there is a huge variety of exercises that you can do while still having fun and enjoying the sun. Going on a summer vacation or beach day does not mean you have to skip your workout. Below are a few different ways to enjoy your vacation and keep your workout streak going. 1. Volleyball There is always a game going on somewhere on the beach. If you do not like to workout in the gym, this is a great option for you. The last thing many people want to do on a summer vacation is spend their time working out indoors. By joining in a game of Volleyball, you do not even have to leave the beach. In addition, a game of beach Volleyball is

Billboard Music Awards Best Dressed 2015

Hey guys! Let's talk celebrity fashion. Last night's star studded BBMA awards featured tones of different styles and beautiful people. But who was the best dressed? I'm gonna go head and give that title to Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town. Fairchild hit the stage in a long sleeve, rubby red mini dress. The dress was completely sparkling and she just looked absolutely stunning in it! Not only was her dress amazing, but the performance of Girl Crush was right on the money. Such a talented group, and a gorgeous dress in the song's lead singer!  Coming in second in my opinion has to be Kylie Jenner. Kylie always looks beautiful, but tonight, her outfit was extra special. Kylie sported a long sleeve mini dress. Her dress was black and gold stripes with a gold belt. From this side of the TV, it looked like the dress was leather. Kylie looked absolutely stunning introducing Kanye West with her sister. Fashion well done!  I  am sure everyone has their own opinion, so feel fre

Get Fit For Summer: Burn Calories IN Your Bedroom (clean)

Previously on Get Fit For Summer: The Best Dieting/Fitness APPS For Your Phone Hey guys! Dieting alone will not make you lose weight or help you get toned. The key to weight loss and toning your body is exercise. When one thinks about getting fit and working out, they think of the gym. Having the motivation to get up and drive to the gym is one of the hardest parts of starting a weight loss or fitness journey. In addition, driving to and from the gym adds time onto the workout event...and gym memberships can cost a bit of money. Going to the gym is absolutely worth is and is great if it fits into your lifestyle. However, if the gym is not an option for you, that does not mean losing weight and getting fit is not as option as well. Today's post is all about the different things you can do to help you lose weight and/or get fit without even leaving your bedroom. 1.) Fitness DVD's The first thing you can do is purchase a collection of fitness DVD's. They will cost much le

Summer 2015 Fashion and Beauty Trends

Hey guys! Today's post is all about summer fashion trends!! I did a post like this for spring, and it was supper fun, so I thought I would do another one for summer. Not much to say in an intro, so lets get into it! 1.) Two Piece Outfits One of the things I am seeing a lot in fashion this summer is two piece sets. Most of these sets feature a crop top with either a high waisted pair of shorts or a skirt or one of those sort/shorts that look like a skirt bottoms. Most of these sets are patterned and the shirts are often short sleeves. These outfits are so versatile that they are great for many different body types. In addition, just about everyone can find one that fits their style. 2.) Triangl Bikini's This is a trend I personally have not tried out yet. However, Triangl bikini's are everywhere...and for a good reason. The contrast between their bright colors and the black outlines creates a classy yet totally hot look that complements any summer tan. These bikini'

Getting Ready For Graduation

Hey guys! Today's post is going to be all about graduation. I know some college graduations have already happened, but if you have not, and your gearing up, this post is for you. Graduation Outfit: To be honest, you can never totally be ready for graduation, so lets start with the simple stuff. Your Graduation Outfit! Graduations are usually in the summer. At my High School, we had a dress code for graduation, so obviously, if you have one your gonna have to adhere to it. Honestly though, my dress code was totally reasonable I think. Below is a picture of the dress I wore to graduate. Now, you do not have to wear a dress unless you are required to, but I highly recommend it. Those graduation gowns are hot, and a nice dress underneath will keep you from overheating. I recommend a short dress for the heat reason, but if your gown is long enough, you could wear high low or an ankle length. I still wouldn't recommend a maxi dress because it would stick out from under the gown an

Get Fit For Summer: The Best Dieting/Fitness APPS For Your Phone!

Hey guys! Today's post is all about my top 3 dieting/fitness apps! I have an iPhone so I know for sure you can get all of these on there, I am not sure about other phone types, but I would think you can still get them or something similar. These apps cover everything from actually working out to counting calories. Most of these apps are free and I really do think they are helpful in getting fit for summer. I am not sponsored by any of these apps or companies. I just think that they are great and wanted to share them with you all. My Fitness Pal: This is probably one of the more common ones, but it is also one of the best ones in my opinion. My Fitness Pal allows you to track your calories, fats, carbs, etc watch day. It also allows you to log your workouts so you can see how many calories you have burned and how much you can eat for the day. What I love about this app is that it is customizable. You can set your calorie goal based on your own height and weight. You can also set

The Prom Problem: How To Apply Fake Eyelashes

Previously on The Prom Problem: Seven Deadly Sins Of Prom Hey Guys! Today, I decided to do a how to post all about falsies. I put it in the Prom Series since I know a lot of girls like to wear false eyelashes for Prom. *Secret: Practice makes perfect. False lashes are not the easiest to apply, so it might take a few tries to get it right. Buy an extra pair or two and practice putting them on ahead of time. * Purchasing the Perfect False Lashes: There are a tone of false lash brands out there. Honestly, you can get whatever pair you would like, but I would recommend the Ardell 110's. The goal of false lashes is not to look like you are wearing them. Falsies should slightly lengthen and volumes your lashes. They should look natural. The first step in achieving this look is buying a pair that are more or less the same length as your regular lashes. Glue: I personally like the Duo Glue brand. When it comes to lash glue, a little goes a long way, so you do not need a full size
